Chapter 356 Li Yuan's Unwillingness
"People come to Yaozhou. I want to see what kind of treasures produce thousands of steel in ten days, which is even more than the iron production of our country." Li Yuan ordered: "I hurried to inform the prince to go and have a look."
"No!" The eunuch beside him bowed and saluted.
"Sanniang, you and I sit on the highway you built." Li Yuan couldn't wait, his eyes full of expectations.
"Okay Father!" Li Xiuning quickly followed Li Yuan who was walking fast.
After leaving Chang'an City, Li Yuan took out the information to be approved, looked at the "Interim Regulations on Expressways", raised his head and said, "Sanniang, what is a highway?"
"The north and south are separated by two paths, one is only south and the other is only north, which is a highway." Li Xiuning's apricot eyes shining.
After hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and said, "So that's it. Don't say that this highway has been completed for more than a year. I haven't seen it before. I'll take a good look later."
When he arrived at the expressway that had been opened to traffic, Li Yuan stepped on the ground with great force, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This expressway is stronger and flatter than the Chidao."
Li Yuanyuan looked at the materials on the road and said, "This is the cement-built highway produced by your workshop, right?"
"Yes, my father." Li Xiuning looked proud.
"What a great road!" Li Yuan murmured to himself as he looked at the straight highway.
"Father, please see, the middle of the expressway is slightly higher than both sides, making it convenient to carry water. There are drainage facilities on both sides of the highway. So when it rains, there is no water accumulation on the road." Li Xiuning said: "The lanes in both directions of the expressway are all open, only one direction. Therefore, you can keep a quick follow-up to prevent the risk of collision between two vehicles."
Li Yuan nodded after hearing this, and was very satisfied with this road. He did not care whether these highways were tolled or not, but was always built on the land of the Tang Dynasty, which at least saved a lot of money for the court.
Next, Li Yuan's carriage galloped on the highway under the pull of several horses.
Li Yuan did not feel any bumps, and he comfortably leaned and snuggled, saying, "The expressway you built in Sanniang is indeed extremely stable, and you can't feel any bumps."
Li Xiuning smiled and did not respond, and the pride on her face was beyond words.
"If all the official roads are cultivated like this in the future, I will no longer have to suffer from fatigue when I go to inspect some places in the future." Li Yuan said to himself.
When Li Xiuning heard Li Yuan's words, she just shook her head and felt that her father was a little bit like that. The cost of the expressway was too high and the current poor finance of the Tang Dynasty could not afford it.
On the flat road, the Luanhua drove very quickly. Only the sound of horse hooves "Ta Tower" could be heard on the road. There was no feeling of ups and downs at all. In the slight shaking, Li Yuan fell asleep.
One hour later!
Li Xiuning lifted the curtain and looked at the chimney of the steel factory in the distance, turned around and shouted: "Father, Yaozhou will be here soon."
Li Yuan opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and said, "You will arrive in Yaozhou so soon?"
Li Xiuning looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Two hours, ten minutes, that is, a little more than an hour."
"Sanniang, what object is in your hand? Can you actually record the time?" Li Yuan looked surprised.
Li Xiuning smiled and said, "It's a watch, it's just for recording time."
After saying that, Li Xiuning took off the watch and handed it to Li Yuan to show it.
A small women's watch with a black background and silver edge deeply attracted Li Yuan. With a clear glass on the outer shell, you can see three small needles in the dial, one of which is constantly spinning around.
Li Xiuning introduced to Li Yuan how to look at this watch and what the three needles represent.
"When will this kind of treasure be made by the Tang Dynasty craftsmen?" Li Yuan exclaimed secretly.
"Father, you can still hear the sound of ticking and ticking in your ears, which sounds so nice." Li Xiuning looked proud because this watch was given to him by Li Yu.
Li Yuan put his watch in his ear and heard the "drip, drip... sound."
"It's so clever! Good thing!" Li Yuan reluctantly returned the watch to his daughter. He knew in his heart who gave it to him.
Li Xiuning pointed to the chimney in front of him and said, "Father, look, that's the big chimney of the steel mill."
"Let me see, alas! The white space in front of me is so white that I can't see clearly. My father is so old, and I can't see clearly now." Li Yuan rubbed his faint eyes.
Li Xiuning took out a briefcase, took out a miniature glasses and handed them to Li Yuan, and said, "Father uses this to see it, so you can see it."
Li Yuan took the telescope handed to him by Li Xiuning and looked ahead. A high chimney appeared in front of him in an instant. He could clearly see all kinds of craftsmen wearing hard hats and work clothes.
After watching, Li Yuan looked at his glasses for a while, which made him suffer a lot. He felt that his legitimate daughter was really happy and full of treasures.
Li Xiuning smiled and said, "My father likes it, so leave your glasses behind! I'll have a few more people back then, anyway."
"Okay, I'll stay this. When I'm fine, I won't feel bored even if I look at the scenery in the distance." Li Yuan was overjoyed.
After Li Yuan came to the steel factory, he found that everything he saw was completely different from other places, especially the craftsmen here were not wearing long robes, they were all dressed with tops and bottoms separate. Some craftsmen even wore black glasses, and everything was so strange.
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng looked at the huge blast furnace and were immediately impressed by the huge blast furnace. A furnace of rolling molten iron slowly poured into the converter to cause a series of charming sparks.
The converter rotates gently, and the steel water slowly flows out. After cooling, it generates steel ingots. The sound of the inspector hitting the steel ingots with a small hammer. When Li Yuan heard the sound, he knew that those steel ingots were definitely good steel.
"Can Sanniang produce so many ingots in this furnace at once?" Li Yuan saw so many ingots. In this era when steel is more expensive than silver, he was jealous and wanted to take it for himself.
"Well! One furnace can be produced in three hours, four furnaces a day, and two converters can be produced in four furnaces a day, basically eight furnaces of steel!" Li Xiuning said nothing again and never stopped.
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng looked at each other, showing an incredible expression, and the desire to occupy them continued to appear in their eyes.
In the cold rolling workshop, they saw that steel bars of different specifications were pulled out one by one from the cold rolling machine, and cold rolled steel plates were produced one by one. Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng became more and more excited the more they looked at it. These were all white money!
The two of them murmured to themselves in their hearts: "How great it would be if this were from the court!"
In the rail beam rolling mill workshop, they saw the long I-shaped rails being produced with a "clang" sound. There were already hundreds of them neatly placed there, and they secretly called it a pity that such a good thousand-sharpened steel must be laid on the ground. What a pity!
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are both exploring how to take over the steel plant for themselves, but they have no reason to take over it.
"Sanniang, your steel factory, I think it can be doubled, and I think it's enough. If there is not enough money, my father can support you." Li Yuan had the idea of combining shares again.
"Yes! Third sister, if you don't have enough money, your brother will have it." Li Jiancheng smiled flatteringly.
"No, I still have tens of millions of dollars now, and I'm still idle in the warehouse of the other yard, it's useless, so I don't need it for the time being." Li Xiuning, who was so proud, was even more shocking and endless.
"Ten millions of yuan? You are even more rich than the court!" Li Yuan's eyes turned green in surprise.
Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Sister Three, you don't need so much money for the time being. Why don't you lend it to the court to overcome difficulties? How do you think?"
"Brother, I have paid me a few months of salary. Should you, the person in charge of finance, pay me a gift?" Li Xiuning browed. How could he not understand what my brother meant? Don't want to come back after borrowing the money.
Li Jiancheng coughed a few times and said, "I will talk about this later, and I will talk about it later."
Li Xiuning sighed and said, "Father, brother, don't think about the matter of combining shares. To tell you the truth, I only own 20% of the shares in the entire steel leader, and the other shares are in the hands of others."
She paused and said, "If you want to buy steel, I can make the decision to sell it to you part."
"Sanniang, is the shares in Li Yu's hands?" Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed.
"Yes, in his hands, but he will not transfer it to you, so don't rush him to pay attention." Li Xiuning said calmly, but with a warning.
Li Yuan did not respond when he heard this. He suffered a loss in front of Li Yu and knew that that guy was not easy to provoke.
Li Jiancheng had an idea and said, "San Sister, I know, you like that Li Yu, but the difference between him and our royal family is too big. Please advise him to give his shares to the court. You two can be together in the future."
When Li Yuan heard this, his frown was stretched out immediately, feeling that this attention was good.
Seeing his father and emperor, the elder brother wanted to take the steel factory back to the court and exchange his marriage, which made Li Xiuning shake his head helplessly.
"Father, brother, isn't this steel factory on the land of our Tang Dynasty? Aren't these steels used in the Tang Dynasty again? Do you really have to grab them in your hands to be at ease?" Li Xiuning asked bluntly.
Therefore, Li Xiuning wanted to give Li Yuan and his elder brother a reminder. In the future, when the two fighters clashed, they would suffer another loss and he would be in a dilemma in the middle.
"Of course it's different. If the steel mill belongs to the court, all the steel can be arranged uniformly and used in urgently needed places. I won't learn from you that these thousand-draft steel that are more expensive than silver are buried underground. I think it's a waste of pure money." Li Jiancheng vowed.
Li Xiuning shook her head and said, "Father, brother, actually, Li Yu deliberately wanted to leave the shares of the steel mill. He just wanted to lure you over and rob. He planned to teach you an unforgettable lesson. You should know now how terrible he is, right?"
"Sanniang, you are the most familiar with him. Do you know anything?" Li Yuan was frightened and he didn't dare to listen any more.
"I don't want to tell you some things, it's just that he wants our world, which is easy." Li Xiuning's thin white palm flipped gracefully.
Li Xiuning looked at the shocked look of his elder brother and father, sighed and left directly.
